Greetings from Denver: Week of June 22nd

Students, Faculty, Residents, Staff, Alumni, Board Members and Friends,

Greetings from sunny Denver, Colorado where we are attending Optometry’s Meeting this week. It’s been a great week with our students, faculty and alumni making a splash here. Several of our alumni and faculty members are lecturing and volunteering to provide various services throughout the week. We have a Salus table in the Exhibit Hall and will be hosting an Alumni and Friends reception this evening at the Hyatt Regency at the Convention Center in Centennial Ballroom F from 5:00 - 6:30, where we will be honoring Dr. David McPhillips OD ’85 with the Albert Fitch Memorial Alumnus of the Year Award. We hope everyone from Pennsylvania College of Optometry (PCO) that’s here in Denver can join us for this celebration.  

During the annual Essilor Optometric Student Bowl, Celeste Gomez ‘19OD represented Salus/PCO exquisitely - making it all the way to the final round, making us all proud!  It was great to see so many of our faculty and staff on-hand to watch this great event.  

On campus, the Speech-Languague Institute (SLI) is launching Autism Support Group for children and their families. The meetings will be held from 1:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. at SLI on June 28July 5July 12, and July 19. Summer classes and clinics continue as we prepare for August when we’ll be ready to welcome our new incoming classes.

Have a great weekend.  Be safe, have fun and look out for each other.

Mike
